Left at the Station
Left at the Station A Civil Rights Perspective on Transit Justice in the Front Range January 2014 1 Index [5] Methodology [7] Key Findings [18] The 16L [20] Community Focus: Westwood [23] Recommendations In April of 2013, the W Line of light rail was opened. This West Corridor expansion is a part of the FasTracks transit build out that is expanding light rail across the Front Range. The W Line runs from Downtown Denver through West Denver, Lakewood, and Golden and ends at the Federal Center. 2 Introduction 9to5 Colorado has been working with residents along the West Corridor through surveys, canvassing, community meetings, petition drives, and organizing campaigns in an effort to prioritize community needs and advocate for a just transit system with equally shared benefits. This report is based on the findings from our work in 2013. 9to5 Colorado began this work to ensure that the wants, needs, and concerns of low-income communities and communities of color were heard throughout the process. Despite the fact that much of the newly opened W Line runs through their communities, many residents reported that 9to5 was the first organization or agency to speak with them about the transit build out. In the months we spent with community members, significant equity issues surfaced. Cost, safety, and service cuts to bus routes were some of the most common concerns. When community members tried to voice concerns, they experienced difficulty accessing RTD and city officials. Community members shared 9to5’s belief that an accessible and equitable transit system can provide opportunities to reach employment, education, services, and recreation. -

Art-N-Transit an Artistic Journey on RTD Best Marketing and Communications Educational Effort Print Media
Art-n-Transit an artistic journey on RTD Best Marketing and Communications Educational Effort Print media Through vital collaboration and partnerships with our communities, we were able to successfully merge transit with acclaimed artwork and artists. The Art-n-Transit brochure provides an artistic journey or self-guided tour on public transit fully accessible by bus and rail. It also educates about art, our system and instills a sense of community pride and ownership that spurs transit-oriented development. ART YOU WILL SEE As you ride RTD, you’ll notice two distinct types of public art, art ABOUT ART-N-TRANSIT enhancements and site-specific pieces. Art enhancements are elements incorporated into the design of the transit station. These Since 1994, the mission of RTD’s Art-n-Transit program has been to enhance the design, aesthetic include windscreens, benches, canopies, railings, and other basic quality, and user friendliness of transit projects, as well as to foster transit-oriented architectural features that provide functional and artistic benefits and community development. make stations and terminals easily identifiable. Site-specific commissioned art includes murals, mosaics, sculptures, and other The Art-n-Transit program is based on RTD’s belief that public art helps provide a stronger connection imaginative installations created by artists to produce unique pieces between neighborhoods and transit. Installing artwork at transit facilities creates a sense of community that reflect the surrounding community and add an identifying and provides opportunities to celebrate the diverse cultural, ethnic, and historical richness of the many element to the neighborhood. communities RTD serves. In addition to enhancing the beauty of the entire transit system, public art also helps discourage vandalism and graffiti. -
